B-4 Technical Specifications
MAC Addresses
Each RBT ‐ 1602 and RBT ‐ 1602C are assigned a unique block of 64 MAC addresses. Each radio has
32 MAC addresses and can therefore support up to 32 SSIDs, with one MAC address assigned to
each SSID as its BSSID.
An AP’s MAC address block is listed on a label on the back of the AP. If the AP is already
deployed and running on the network, you can display the MAC address assignments by using
the show ap status command.
All MAC addresses on an AP are assigned based on the AP’s base MAC address, as described in
Table B ‐ 5 .
